Training:
Over the past 10+ years, from Texas to Virginia, Tammie has been teaching fitness classes professionally with certifications in Group Fitness, Bootcamp, PiYo, Athletic Conditioning, Upper body, TRX, Gluteus Maxout, HIIT, Indoor cycle and more.

Journey:
Tammie was born and raised in California where she struggled with her weight into her early 20’s. She moved to Texas and after many failed attempts at weight loss through fad diets and gimmicks, she finally found a love for fitness and never looked back. She started going to the gym regularly, and thus began her decades-long journey into health and fitness.

In an effort to continue pursuing her passion to teach, she began offering classes online to her friends. Word spread, the interest in these classes grew, and ‘Fit with Tam’ was born. Tammie now teaches Live-Streaming and Video-On Demand classes through a paid monthly membership group on Facebook. In the end, whether in-person or online, Tammie’s true passion is helping people to reach their fitness goals whatever they may be.

Assistant Studio Manager, an ELI Performer, as well as an ELEVATE AMBASSADOR for LIFETIME Fitness. I teach Barre, AQUA, and multiple formats of Spin (Rhythm-Riding being my favorite!). As a young girl in Travel Soccer and Competitive Jump Roping, were my life. Today I run marathons, and train others at Lifetime Fitness Gym for over 3 years.

Journey:
The truth is – it was never a dream to work in fitness. I have created my own brand called, “ShelbsSpeaks,” to continue the love and passion I have for helping others become better versions of themselves. ShelbsSpeaks facebook page allows people to find inspirational quotes, motivational passages, and a little something more to provide light in their daily routine. Working hand in hand with my brand, “EMBRACE the RIDE,” is an online Facebook page for virtual LIVE rides, as well as recordings for people to clip in and ride in their homes!

My purpose is to help people create and find better versions of themselves no matter where they are at in their journey called life. WE will make it through the hardships, the failures, heartbreak, loss, and all of the amazing things through allowing the mind and body to fully connect.

“Trust the Wait, Embrace the Uncertainty, Enjoy the Beauty of Becoming.”
